After the break, Steele thwarted Zaha and Martin who let fly shots from the edge of the box, while Palace almost won a penalty when Joe Bennett brought down Zaha just outside the area.

Steele then saved from Easter again and Ambrose blasted over the rebound. And right near the end, Jutkiewicz's strike from Justin Hoyte's was kept out by Speroni who helped Palace earn a point, although they have now not won in five Championship matches.
